  CAPITAL VENTURE SM
Capital & Endowment Campaigns

Are You Ready for a Campaign?
  • Do you have a long-range plan?
  • Do you have a marketing plan?
  • Do you have a base of donors?
  • Do you have adequate staff?
  • Do you have volunteer leadership?
  • Do you have an informed constituency?
  • Do you know who your potential donors are?
  • Do you have good donor/media relationships?
  • Do you have a donor database, which can record gifts, generate merged solicitation letters and acknowledgments?
  • Do you have a written case statement, including a mission, a vision and a fundraising goal?
  • Do you have potential major donors?
  • Do you have an involved and informed board?

CAPITAL VENTURE SM can help you:

  • Prepare for your Capital or Endowment Campaign
  • Conduct a Feasibility/Planning Study
  • Manage your Capital or Endowment Campaign

In most cases, we recommend conducting a feasibility/planning study before entering into a capital or endowment campaign. The feasibility/planning study can help determine the likelihood of a successful campaign, educate your constituents about your organization's needs, and begin the donor cultivation process.

Once you decide to proceed with a campaign, we offer complete campaign management or assistance with selected aspects of your campaign. CAPITAL VENTURE SM services include coordinating the process of establishing the campaign leadership, preparing the case for support, guidance in recruiting campaign volunteers, coordinating the solicitation and reporting process, coordinating your plan for stewardship, and general counsel related to your campaign.

If you are thinking about a campaign, you may want to review the readiness test above to see if your organization is in a good position to conduct a campaign. If you cannot answer these questions to your satisfaction, CAPITAL VENTURE SM can help with any of the readiness steps needed. If you are ready for a campaign, CAPITAL VENTURE SM can assist you with managing your campaign or providing selected services as needed.
